Anark to Exhibit at Annual AGI Users' Conference; Special Promotion Enhances Value for STK Users

Boulder, CO : Anark Corporation, the leading provider of automated 3D CAD transformation and visualization solutions, today announced it will exhibit at the annual Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI) Users' Conference, taking place October 7-9, 2008 in Chicago, Illinois.

Anark will demonstrate the recently released Anark Core™ Platform version 2.0. Anark Core is an innovative software solution that quickly and easily transforms native 3D CAD data for use throughout manufacturing design, engineering, and support organizations. Anark has added several features to Anark Core to further reduce the time and effort currently required to prepare 3D CAD data for use within AGI's STK.

This latest version provides users with expanded conversion, transformation, and automation capabilities to cost-effectively prepare 3D product design data for visualization, simulation, CAE, and supply-chain-data-exchange applications. Version 2.0 also provides users with the ability to automate 3D product geometry and structure modification, and then export revised product data into high-precision B-rep and lightweight mesh formats including SolidWorks®, Inventor®, ACIS®, CATIA® V4/V5, Parasolid®, STEP, NX (formerly Unigraphics), IGES, COLLADA, DWF, X3D, and VRML.

"As an AGI Affiliated Product Partner, we look forward to taking part in the AGI Users' Conference where we can demonstrate the powerful workflow between Anark Core and STK, as well as the new and innovative capabilities that have been added to version 2.0," said Stephen Collins, CEO, Anark Corporation. "We are particularly excited to demonstrate Anark Core's ability to quickly and easily transform 3D CAD geometry for use in STK, which will save AGI's customers significant time and expense when developing visual simulation applications."

"We are extremely pleased to have Anark showcase their innovative Anark Core Platform at this year's event," said Dr. Peter Aves, AGI director of partner and alliances. "The integration between Anark Core and STK provides great power and potential to our broad customer base, and we look forward to them demonstrating the new capabilities that have been added in version 2.0."

Anark is also offering a special promotion for STK users. Effective today through December 31, 2008 STK users will receive 10 percent off the list price of Anark Core plus free Basic Support and Maintenance for one calendar year from initial purchase.

Anark will also demonstrate Anark Core during an upcoming webinar hosted by Dr. Ken Versprille, and Anark Corporation. Join Dr. Ken Versprille, Partner and PLM Research Director for CPD Associates and Scott Collins, Senior Vice President of Product Development for Anark Corporation, to learn how improving the efficiency of product design, analyze, and revise cycles reduces time-to-market and yields competitive advantage for manufacturers that solve these issues.
